Kindle Ebook Loans Are Here

Amazon promised ebook loans back in late October, and today it looks as though they’ve finally delivered. And while Kindle loans have matched the excellence of Nook loans, the real shame is they haven’t improved on the model. https://gizmodo.com/dont-get-too-excited-about-the-nooks-lending-feature-5388168 A select number of “eligible” Kindle books can be loaned once, for a 14 day period,…

Amazon Rainforest’s Trees Will be Microchipped Just Like Your Dog

If a tree has been cut down and there aren’t any witnesses, was it really cut down?

Amazon Went Offline in Europe, But Not Due to Wikileaks’ Supporters

Last Thursday, a Twitter account purported to be from Wikileaks’ Anonymous supporters (the same group which brought down PayPal, Mastercard and Visa’s websites) threatened to take down Amazon in a similar DDoS attack. Seemingly it failed, but Amazon’s websites in the UK, Italy, Germany and Spain went offline for about 30 minutes each last night,…

Amazon Could Be the Next Site Brought Down by Wikileaks’ Supporters

Wikileaks’ powerful allies have declared war against Amazon.com, after already ticking PayPal, Visa and Mastercard off their lists this week.

Amazon Ejects Embattled WikiLeaks From its Servers

WikiLeaks, that little site you might have heard of, fled to Amazon’s cloud servers after being bombarded with DDoS attacks.
